Section 5 – reactivitY data
Stability: Stable
Conditions to Avoid: Avoid exposure to heat, spark, or open ame.
Materials to Avoid: Prolonged heating in excess of 275 C accelerates thermal degradation.
Hazardous Decomposition: Thermal decomposition products may include hazardous fumes of titanium oxide.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Section 6 – HeaLtH HaZard data
Inhalation: Short term overexposure by inhalation to titanium dioxide may cause irritation of nose, throat, and lungs with
cough, difculty breathing, or shortness of breath. Studies showed that employees who had been exposed to
titanium dioxide were at no greater risk of developing lung cancer than were employees who were unexposed.
Inhalation of amorphous silica may cause drying of mucous membranes and irritation of nose, throat, and lungs
with nosebleeds, cough and difculty breathing or shortness or breath.
Skin May cause irritation to skin.
Ingestion: Single dose oral toxicity is extremely low. No hazards anticipated from swallowing small amounts incidental to
normal handling operations.
Eye Contact: High dust concentrations may cause mechanical irritation to eyes.
I s any chemical in this product at a concentration of 0.1% or more classied as a carcinogen by IARC, NTP, or OSHA? Yes
Exposure Signs and Symptoms: The following information provided on the below hazardous ingredient(s) applies to the
ingredient(s) in the pure dry form. The form of the ingredients provided to you is encapsulated in plastic, and therefore the
likelihood of exposure is much less, even to the point of negligible. We therefore consider the level of hazard to be negligible.
Zinc Ferrite - may cause mechanical irritation to skin and eyes.
Carbon Black - dust concentrations above permissible exposure limit may cause temporary upper respiratory
tract discomfort. IARC has classied Carbon Black as possibly carcinogenic to humans (group 2B).
Titanium Dioxide/Aluminum Oxide - IARC has listed Titanium Dioxide as group 2(B) possible carcinogenic to
humans. Exposure to dust may cause temporary drying effect and/or mild irritation of the nose, throat, and
lungs and may aggravate pre-existing conditions.
Medical Conditions generally Aggravated by Exposure:The following information provided on the below hazardous
ingredient(s) applies to the ingredient(s) in the pure dry form. The form of the ingredients provided to you is encapsulated in
plastic, and therefore the likelihood of exposure is much less, even to the point of negligible. We therefore consider the level of
hazard to be negligible.
Zinc Ferrite - None known.
Carbon Black - Upper respiratory disorders, such as Bronchitis or Asthma.
Titanium Dioxide/Aluminum Oxide - IARC has listed Titanium Dioxide as group 2(B) possible carcinogenic to
humans. (Respiratory disorders.)
First Aid: Inhalation - Remove to clean, fresh air and treat symptomatically.
Skin - Remove contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash with soap or mild detergent and large
amounts of water until no evidence of chemical remains (at least 15-20 minutes). Get medical attention imme-
diately.
Ingestion - Material will pass through the body normally.
Eye Contact - Wash eyes immediately with large amounts of water or normal saline, occasionally lifting upper
and lower lids, until no evidence of chemical remains (at least 15-20 minutes). Get medical attention immedi-
ately.
Section 7 – PrecautionS for Safe HandLing and uSe
Spillage: Wearing appropriate personnel protective equipment, contain spill, collect in a suitable container.
Waste Disposal: Landll or incinerate in accordance with local, state and federal laws.
Storage: Avoid generating dust. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed.
Other Precautions: Use under well-ventilated conditions and recommend that employees wash thoroughly after handling
product.
